Sorry i thought you were referring to getting paged support added to
FDS, what do you mean "If the paged results control is not marked
critical, fedora ds will ignore it." with reference to 'nss_ldap'?
Sorry, that's LDAP-speak. Paged Results is an LDAPv3 Control that is
added to the LDAP Search Request. Controls can be marked as Critical or
not. If a control is marked as Critical, the server will return an
error if unsupported, otherwise the server will ignore it.
If you want to file a bugzilla requesting that Fedora DS should support
the Paged Results control, please do.
